About Tiger Fish
The Tiger Fish (Hydrocynus Vittatus) is a major freshwater angling game fish and can easily be recognised by the bluish sheen on its back, a series of parallel longitudinal black stripes, intensive yellow to blood red fins with trailing black edges and a series of 8 large protruding sharply pointed teeth.
Tiger fish are ferocious and aggressive apex predators, and are a hard fighting freshwater game fish. An awesome fish to catch on light tackle and fly fishing equipment.
Tiger Fish are indigenous to Africa. A local name given to the Tiger Fish is Striped Water Dog.
Tiger Fish Fishing at Lake Jozini South Africa
Lake Jozini, also known as Pongolapoort Dam is ssituated in the North Eastern corner of Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa, near the towns of Pongola and Jozini, bordered by the Phongola Game Reserve, and several other Game Reserves and the Lebombo Mountains. Lake Jozini is fed by the Pongola River and is South Africa’s premier Tiger Fish destination.
Lake Jozini is the most southern lake and river system in Africa where Tiger Fish occur. The main target species here are the Tiger Fish which can get up to 8.5Kgs (18.7lbs) for the large Tiger Fish specimens, there are many Tiger Fish in the 900gr (2lb) range with the average Tiger fish being caught in the 1 ‐ 4Kg (2.2‐8.8lb) range, and specimens in the 5Kg (11lb) range are sometimes caught. There are also 27 other recorded fish species in Lake Jozini.
Lake Jozini and the whole Maputuland area is just one of those places where you can get back to your roots in Africa, unwind and refresh yourself. The area around the lake is magnificent and naturally wild and you are able to view many species of Birds and Game whilst fishing.
Whilst fishing here on the boat I have viewed Elephants, Giraffes, many species of Buck, Zebra, Rhino, Hippopotamus, Buffalo, Crocodiles, Large Iguana, many Bird species and much more, and to do this from an open boat on the water is the best way.
In the Summer it gets very hot, the Winters are mild and Spring and Autumn have a simply fantastic Climate.
The Lake is huge and is a smaller version of Lake Kariba, there is a wide choice of camping facilities, caravan parks, self catering chalets, bed & breakfasts and 5 Star lodges in the area. There are also many game parks with the Big 5 and Reserves around the area and it is not too far to Cape Vidal, St. Lucia, Kozi Bay, Kozi Lakes, St. Lucia Lakes, Sodwana Bay, Mkhuze Game Reserve, Thembe Elephant Park and Hluhluwe Game Reserve. The Swaziland border is right there by Golela and a small part of the lake is in Swaziland, the Mozambique border is not too far away from the town of Jozini.
When you are there it is recommended to take the opportunity to explore the area and game parks around.

Bass Fishing is an interactive way of fishing and truly is great fun, for experienced and novice anglers alike. Bass Fishing can really get your adrenalin pumping.
